United States Marines from Bravo Company of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Marines fire machine guns for suppression during a gunbattle.


91 000 disclosure of secret documents from the Afghanistan war was a blow Wikileaks traditional media. First Day of the epidemic was caused by failures in the security of awesome characters and the promise of a disaster, especially a covert Pakistani Taliban. The failure of the second day was due to lack of new issues securities. On the third day everything went well. But the war continues, it is useless at this point. In fact the real situation on the ground worse than the secret documents, which describe% u2014 it was in his testimony before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, on the third day clear in the story of David Kilcullen Almost one expert David Petraeus.

"We have killed many Taliban," said Kilcullen, a statement that in addition to the humanitarian spirit of counterinsurgency (coin) activities. But if the Afghan government Kilcullen too unstable to really COIN% u2014 major concessions a founding member of Petraeus on the ground and perhaps a sign to the tactics in the United States to amend the United States. Based on the Taliban, he said there was no doubt support the Economist Intelligence Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Kilcullen recommends that Committee members have the most recent article by Matt Waldman Harvard University's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy called "sun to read." (All 10 losses).

Waldman is a surprising document. From February to May of this year, a writer separate interviews with nine leaders of the Taliban now in Afghanistan and 10 Taliban leadership. Commanders are in the faith agree that the ISI is in progress. This is the vision of the hierarchy, and probably an exaggeration, but half his life, which is the direct involvement of ISI Champions are entirely convincing. Some of them are trained to protect and manage the camps in Pakistan ISI. [ISI] certain groups under their authority, in schools and how to burn, "said one commander. [ISI and] there are people who work in his Taliban movement. It is always brighter than the sun." Commanders say that the ISI, negotiations with the Taliban and the government of Hamid Karzai is in contrast evidence that the arrest in February, Pakistani Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Assistant Barada, which participated in informal peace talks with Afghanistan. (See images of threat Korengal Valley in Afghanistan.)

Why are some of the Pakistani army, which supported the Taliban? In short, India. India is the first, and finally the strategic obsession with Pakistani troops. The United States appears and disappears in the past is always a danger for India. Fall of the Taliban forces in the United States in 2001, it was feared that the new government to Kabul is reasonable to put India and the foundation for the strategic intelligence on Pakistan are. And if the United States despite the competition of the loyalty of Pakistan dictator Pervez Musharraf, has decided to keep the Taliban. Tap military aid, helped George W. Bush finance transactions. Taliban commander Haqqani network correctly Waldman said that resources from the U.S. u2014% of them is Pakistan's armed forces and then let us know. "Waldman reports that commanders of Pakistan was awarded" for the murder of foreign troops, usually $ 4,000 and $ 5,000 for each dead soldier. "

This is a devastating and shocking, but a bit "out of date and incomplete u2014% strongly. Has the next few months, Waldman end of the study the relationship between Pakistan and Karzai government considerably. Karzai is heated from its intelligence chief Amrullah Saleh, the Pakistanis held The Indian representative. There is talk of the town, the forces remain Haqqani network. First of all Pakistanis feel the threat perception changes over the past 18 months. After a series of spectacular terrorist attacks, has started the army launched a major campaign in the local Pakistani Taliban. more members of the Pakistani army in the fight against U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Taliban were killed. (See pictures of threatened species in northwest Pakistan.)

Are you still confused? I want to make things even more complicated: Afghanistan is the highlight here. Pakistan is a major U.S. national security in the region. It is a nuclear arsenal, and live under the threat of a coup by some Islamists, who have created by many factors and aid the Taliban army. The only thing you can do what the U.S. is to reduce this threat, is a reliable friend of Pakistan will u2014% offer long-term assistance, brokering services, and tensions with India to help stabilize Afghanistan, support for the main authority in Pakistan. At that time it can to reduce the impact of extremist groups in the army and the use of Islamic guerrillas in Pakistan before the neighbors. U2014% if the alternative is unthinkable .
